Initial intake information: Yellow  Male (Mixed)  - 90 lbs -  Available Now

Jefferson is gentle boy with an amazingly loving personality and generally very mellow nature. He is crate trained, potty trained, and rings ‘the bells’ to let us know when he wants outside.

Jefferson may have sheep or goat guarding instincts in his DNA and needs a leader who is willing and able to establish themselves as a natural authority.  He has an experienced foster who can tell you all about his training and needs.  Jefferson is looking for someone willing to put the effort into being consistent and firm so that he can relax and enjoy the good life. Jefferson loves other dogs and is very social. He has great manners, is really good on a leash (which is important for a big guy) and is a great walker for an active family.  He has good energy and enjoys keeping up with others, but has an off switch and loves to chill as well.  Jefferson loves car rides and just being with his people and being the big goofball that he is!

Hi, my name is Lee and the nice people of DFW Lab Rescue brought me in and I am having a great time with my foster mom. I was lost and needed some TLC and am feeling so much better now.  I've gained a lot of weight (I’m was 50 lbs. now and still need more to be added). I have a new BFF (my foster mom's cat), and got rid of my skin and ear infections and those silly heart worms without any problems. I'm a very happy guy and never leave my foster mom's side in case she needs a kiss. They tell me I have made great progress since I've been here and all I know is I feel better and love haiving a home!

I'm not a huge fan of my crate but I'm much better with it than I used to be! We only use it when my foster mom goes out to run errands but I’m house trained and I sleep in my bed beside my foster mom all night until my BFF wakes both of us up in the morning. I sit and take treats gently and like it alot when the grandkids visit. My favorite time is when I can snuggle on the couch with my foster mom or just hanging out with the grandkids. 

I love walks and meeting the neighborhood dogs and their owners. I'm always up for a car ride and will sit quietly in the back seat with an open window.  I would love to meet my forever family since I have so much love to share and so many new things to learn. I'm just a very laid back guy that wants to be with you and be your best friend.

Been looking for love in all the wrong places? Ever thought about the advantages of a small lab? I won’t take up most of the bed if allowed. My tail doesn’t knock anything off of the tables. I won’t smother you when laying on your lap. And there are plenty more.

I am crate trained, housetrained and walk good on a leash. I sleep next to foster moms’ bed or in a dog bed at night. I enjoy chewing on Nyla bones and other bones that I am allowed to chew on. I am just learning about toys, so I don’t really have any favorites of them. I also get along with other dogs and seem to pay no attention to the outdoor cats that live here.

If you’re looking for a calm laid back girl, no need to look any further.

Hello beautiful people!  My name is Winny!  I am an adorable yellow lab, if I might say so myself.  I am about crate trained and walk well on and off leash.  I really, really love kids and other dogs, and I want to play.  The day is best when I can go everywhere with you, so grab the keys and lets go for a ride.  I might need a little help with potty training but for the most part I do my business outside.  I do have one thing I'm afraid of...tile floors, so if your house is filled with them we might have to work on that with some rugs until I get the hang of those. 

Hi everyone, I'm Skywalker Leia, but you can just call me Leia.  I am a sweet, loyal girl with lots of love to give.  I am a little shy at first, but once I get to know you and feel safe, I'll be your best friend and will follow you around everywhere!  My foster people say I'm polite. I don't chew anything I'm not supposed to, I don't counter surf and I am fully house trained.

I'm looking for a home where I can feel loved and secure. I've been shuffled around lately since my owner moved away so I have some anxiety about being left behind. I will get in my crate when I have to, but it's not my favorite place to be. I would much rather be sleeping on the floor next to your bed. I get along fine with other dogs, but I'd be perfectly happy being the only dog at home as I like the people best anyway. I love toys and enjoy playing fetch. I haven't gotten to walk much lately so I'm a few pounds overweight. Fortunately, I love to walk and am pretty good on a leash so we can work on those last few pounds together.

Hi, My Name is Kia! I love nothing more than to snuggle!! I will cease whatever I am any moment to bury my head into you for some love and cuddles. I love to be outside and go for walks. I am fully potty trained and like car rides, but also think its an option to sit in your lap while you drive so am working on just enjoying the ride from the back seat. When I do have to stay at home, my foster mom does not even have to crate me because I am SO good and just lay on my blanket and sleep while she is gone. At night, I also sleep on my blanket and sleep great through the night. If there is a storm though, you better make some room in the bed for me! I am very sweet with my foster Pomeranian brother and am especially sweet with little kids, even if they lay right on top of me! I walk very well on a leash for anyone who is walking me.  In short, all I want is to be loved on by someone who appreciates my very calm and sweet nature. My foster mom does want you guys to know that I do have some anxiety that we are working on and since I have been with her I have mellowed out, but still am looking for a family who will be very patient with me and will be willing to work with me on getting past the things I am afraid of.  I'm so eager to find the right family for my forever family!

Mickey is a handsome gentle giant and has been nothing but a sweet boy in our house. If you would like a sporty guy, Mickey is the one! Some activities that he loves are chasing the ball and swimming. When playing fetch he will drop the ball at your feet at sit. To cool himself off he likes to jump in the pool real quick. Watch out though when he gets out and shakes!

Mickey has a cat in the house with him. He is curious about the cat but has become comfortable with her as time has passed. Mickey will probably do best as an only dog. He has ignored the neighborhood dog that likes to bark at him but did not enjoy sharing his time with a few dogs at his temp foster. Mick walks nicely on a leash.

Mickey has 3 human brothers under the age of 8 and has been very loving with them. When we all relax at night he will settle down nicely. He compliments our energy very well whether its playing outside or hanging out inside. He will be a great addition to a lucky family.

Baelie is an adorabl female puppy who is currently around 10lbs. She has a super soft/fluffy coat and 3 black paw pads with one pink and black…so cute! She takes her role as a puppy seriously. Baelie is playful and full of life. She loves to chew on her stuffed duck and run around the yard exploring. Baelie sleeps 6-7 hours at night in her crate and also naps there during the day.  She hasn’t been around any other cats or dogs up close but loves to sit in the front yard as people walk their dogs past. She is looking for a family who will love, care and help her through her fun puppy stage to become the best lab she can be. Baelie is working on housetraining and puppy manners. She is crate trained already but prefers to be around people and curled up in their laps to play with toys.

Hi, my name is Lukas! I’m an energetic, happy and social yellow lab looking for my furever home. I live with my foster humans and their dog, with whom I love to play chase, tug-a-war, keep away, and fetch. I also love walks, that’s when my foster humans say I prance around. I’m really good on a leash; I don’t pull and I’m very attentive. I so want to make my humans happy. I’m generally confident, curious, friendly and warm. I’m a big guy, but I carry myself well. I love it when my humans pet me and show affection, it makes me feel at home and like I’m part of a family.

I’ve come a long way. There was a time when I was left at a shelter because my original humans didn’t have time for me. I was very scared and even traumatized. So, I had to learn how to trust again. My foster humans say I’m a great dog who deserves a good home. A home filled with love, laughter and humans with pawsitive vibes. Does that sound like you?

Bathsheba will make a great family pet. As a rule, we crate all our fosters, but we suspect she would be trustworthy in the house alone.  She was picked up stray with her best buddy, a German Shepherd, so we think having a doggy friend in her forever home would be ideal.  Cats are unknown.

WANTED loving patient family

Meg is very typical of a lab her age. Unfortunately she has been lacking a consistent home. A home with realistic expectations of puppies. She knows how to sit for her meals and take treats nicely. She goes in her kennel great and walks on a leash well (when not distracted by birds or squirrels). We are learning the meaning of no and off. Meg’s initial response when we arrive home is one of excitement as would be expected. Once she settles down she’s obedient. She has learned to make a game to steal things and run, so she’s learning the new rules to her game and the "release" command is still a bit foreign - but every day we see progress. In her foster home she is only kenneled at night and a couple hours a day. The rest of the time she is following us around the yard, exploring and interacting with the other dogs and living a more structured and young dog appropriate lifestyle. This lifestyle seems to have improved her maturity quickly. 

Meg is a fun girl who is a very good girl. She is pretty, petite and has beautiful facial expressions. Let us know if you would like to meet her.

Hello, my name is Lexie and I'm a beautiful yellow/white female lab.  How did I get into the foster program? It was not because of me! Long story short, my owners were forced to give me up and I know it made them sad. As for me, I am not the typical girl my age. I have the temperament of a six year old. If I really said how good I am, you would call me a liar and not believe me, but it's true! I am good in the car, good in the house, don’t get on furniture, good on leash, good taking treats, don’t counter surf, love other dogs and like people - especially kids. You want me to go in the crate? Just give the command and I will go running where ever it is. Want me to sleep by your bed? Just ask me and I will not move until you get up. Like I said, this is hard to believe but true.

Now enough about me, I want to know more about you. I prefer a big back yard; pool is optional, no way am I going to get in.  What type of bed do you have for me? I prefer at least six inch foam. I like to eat at 7am and 5 pm and I prefer good healthy dog food and not the same old thing every night.  I like walks daily - especially when it's cool and not raining. I like to go places with you, so plan on that. Soon, I will be interviewing - so best get prepared!  You might want to bring pictures of your house, back yard, my bed, menu and the car I would be riding in. I don’t care if you have a big family or small, other dogs or not because I love them all!  See, I am not picky at all, just want some loving.

Lexie
